contemporary periods. The successful candidate is expected to teach a

range of courses in Hindu Studies from introductory undergraduate

lecture courses through graduate seminars in areas of research

interest; to supervise doctoral dissertations; and to participate

actively in the programs of the departments as well as in area studies

initiatives within a larger university community that encourages

interdisciplinary efforts. Of special interest are candidates who

share a commitment to historically-grounded scholarship that is both
